( barking )

Over here!

How many?

Three, all female.

Appear to be Latino.

No IDs yet, but

they're pretty tangled up.

We don't want to touch them
till the forensics team gets here.

They've been cut open, gutted.

And from the blood
evidence it looks like...

it happened up here and then
they were dumped down there?

Yeah.

We gotta be talking about
some pretty disturbed individuals.

Some kind of cult, maybe.

Satanic stuff is usually
seen in teenagers.

Not exactly on a college
track, I'm guessing.

What else is around here?

Nothing.

Government land goes down to
about where you turned off the road.

After that, it's all farm
fields, agriculture.

It's a pretty good chance
all three were illegals.

Excuse me.

I'm Megan Reeves of the FBI.

What was your team
doing out here?

Who tipped you off?

Some guy called it in.

What was he doing out here?

He wasn't. He's a psychic.

Mapped out the location
in sketches.

Psychic?

Guy right over there talking
with the sheriff.

He drew this.

Wonder if he's psychic enough to
know he just made the suspect list.

You can't really believe

I had something
to do with these murders.

Wow, he really is psychic, Don.

You just read my mind.

You have no understanding
at all of what it is I do.

Do you?

DON:
These are pretty detailed.

You've been there before?

Not in the way
you're suggesting.

Not in my, uh, physical body.

MEGAN:
Excuse me?

I have the power
to project my conscious mind.

Oh... This is where
we lay in the grounds

for the insanity plea, right?

I have a gift, Agent Reeves.

I see things.

Visions. They come to me,

like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

And once I put enough
of the pieces together

to draw these images,
I called the sheriff.

Who clearly believed you enough

to send a search team
on a five-mile hike.

I've worked with him before.

A missing child case
two years ago.

Were you a suspect in
that case as well?

The missing boy's family
brought me in,

and thanks to the gift I have,

he was found.

Alive and unharmed.

I might be able
to help here as well.

Oh, yeah?

Okay. What have you got?

Nothing yet, but once the channel
is open more visions may come.

Yeah? What do you want?

An acknowledgement
from the Bureau for my work.

That's it?

They're about to publish
my new book.

( chuckles )

Pass.

Why?

W... You're a suspect
in a triple homicide.

We're not here
to promote your book.

It's a good way
to sell books, though, huh?

Commit a crime and then

show up to mystically
help solve it?

That is ridiculous.

Well, you shouldn't leave town,

and we're gonna
need your passport.

Otherwise, you're free to go.

Your father always wanted a son.

Didn't he?

- What are you talking about?
- You were the youngest?

Three older sisters?

You were

his last chance.

I don't appreciate people
looking into my personal life.

I told you, it's not
something I control.

Well, if I were you,
I'd learn how to.

There's something else.

Something...

...no one else knows
about you.

I understand. Just let me know
as soon as you find out.

All right?
Thanks. Hey.

- So what do you think?
- He knew about the murders.

He has to be involved somehow.

Well, maybe.

Don. This psychic stuff.

You cannot take
it seriously, okay?

Charlie, can you prove to
me there's nothing to it?

There is no scientific evidence

for the existence of
psychic ability, okay?

None whatsoever.

- Yeah?
- It's make-believe.

No, I don't know
about that, actually.

I saw a guy randomly
take someone from a group,

come up with stuff about
the guy's life the person said

that nobody would ever
know about them, so...

It's an act, man.

They're guessing, okay?

They, they... Look. It's just
like blindly throwing darts.

Throw enough darts,

you're gonna eventually
hit a bull's-eye.

- Yeah, but...
- So look,

that guy, he probably
has such a deep desire

to believe that he
dismisses the misses

and focuses on the hits.

It's called optimistic bias.

Charlie, this guy isn't
just throwing darts.

I can tell you that right now.

Just, there's plenty of simple,

more rational explanations
to be considered.

We've got all
of his information.

I'll have the agent that drops
him off confiscate his passport.

I thought you
were dropping him off.

I just got something
I need to check out.

DAVID:
How we doing on our victims?

Any IDs yet?

No. All three are Jane Does.

The only thing we know
is they're all Latinas,

late teens to early 20s.

Jane Doe number one

had a receipt in her pocket

puts her in Tecate,
Mexico, three days ago,

so she only
just got to the States.

If they're illegals, it's
gonna be tough to ID them.

Prints won't be in our system,

Immigration won't have them.

The fact is, we don't even know
what country they started out from.

Get anything from
the coroner's reports yet?

Here's the preliminary
from the crime scene.

All three cut open,

belly to chest.

No indication of skill,
surgical knowledge.

Still waiting on the autopsy
report, though.

I do have some information on
the occult stuff found at the scene.

Satanic stuff?

Turns out it's not Satanic.

The statues are related to
something called Semana Santa.

It's popular in Central America.

It's a blend of modern religions
and some old, indigenous rituals.

So these are what,
religious killings?

Sacrifices?

Maybe some kind of exorcism.

I don't know.

These girls were young.

Border Patrol says they've
been seeing a growing stream

of young women
coming over on their own.

They dream of a better job,
a better life.

They sure as hell didn't
dream of ending up like that.

( sighs )

- Something wrong?
- Sorry.

I didn't mean to stare at you.

You were there, watching
the questioning, weren't you?

I'm not impressed. I'm sorry.

Right. You could have
easily seen me there.

You don't believe at
all in what I do.

Do you?

Honestly, no.

And that's not to say that
you don't believe what you do.

I'm sure there are
a lot of so-called

psychics that are absolutely
convinced that they have an ability.

But you're convinced they don't

because... it's not logical.

Because you haven't seen proof.

That's right.

So you wouldn't be impressed
if I said I felt the presence

of your mother...

standing beside you.

Okay, now you've stepped
into the category of con man.

Why is that?

The fact that you know me,
that you know about my mother

means nothing.

I do a lot of consulting here,

and that's no secret.

The fact that my mother is
deceased is no secret.

It only proves you did
a little research. Great.

But now you're trying to pass
that off as something else?

Well, that doesn't
make you delusional.

That makes you... deceitful,

and that, and that I don't like.

( elevator bell rings )

I'll get the next one.

Nice tire imprint you got.

Rained here less than a week
ago, so it's got to be recent.

Ah, it could belong
to our killer.

Sedan wouldn't make it up here.

Whatever left that print
had to be a four-wheel drive.

Right. Fortson Trail-Hawk.
All-terrain.

Light truck or SUV.

Whatever it is must have had
some miles on it.

That tread's pretty worn.

Manual said they stopped
production in '99.

Well, we're probably looking at
something late '90s or early 2000s.

Let's get the word out.

Right.

Listen, the FBI has used
psychics before,

as have other
law enforcement agencies,

whether they admit to it or not.

Thank you for destroying any
confidence I had in public safety.

What is your criteria
for this categorical dismissal

of parapsychological phenomena?

Reality.

Oh, yes, reality.

What would that be?
Newtonian reality?

Einsteinian reality?
Quantum reality?

This is for the two of us.

Larry, you cannot go about
defending this as science.

Listen, two University
of Chicago studies

have presented evidence that the
human brain is still evolving.

Two key brain-building genes
are undergoing rapid mutations,

so what if unique
perceptual abilities

arose just as a simple
genetic variant?

Larry, first of all,

I'm well aware of those
studies, okay?

I might very well
incorporate some of that data

into my cognitive
emergence work.

But you're suggesting
that this guy Kraft

is somehow higher evolved
than the rest of us.

What if the human brain
has reached a point

where it is sensitive
on a subatomic level --

a level where matter
can appear and disappear,

where time can run
backwards or forwards?

I mean, who is to
say what's possible,

what isn't possible?

What flavor of crazy Kool-Aid
do they make you drink

when you join
the Physics Department?

DAVID: Agent Cullen. Agent Sinclair,
Granger.

- Thanks for meeting us.
- Hey, not a problem.

I'm out here anyway.

We're hoping because
you patrol the area

you might be able
to help us out.

We heard about those girls.

Obviously, anything we can do.

We were wondering if maybe you've
come across any of these before.

Far as we can tell, they have
Central American origin.

Well, lots of these migrant workers,
they bring across prayer cards,

candles, stuff like that, but...

I don't think I've
ever seen this before.

You think
it's related to the murder?

These girls were cut open.

These artifacts
were scattered around them.

Sounds to me like somebody's
trying to send a message.

Message -- what do you mean?
Like, for who?

Coyotes.

I take it you don't mean
the furry little animals.

No.

Smugglers who shuttle
these people up from Mexico.

No pun intended,
but it's a cutthroat business.

I'll bet.

A lot of money,
a lot of competition.

Choose the wrong trail guide,

maybe that's
what happens to you.

Think Cullen could be right
about the killer being a coyote?

They'd certainly be capable
of that violence, but...

why the whole setup with the
candles and the statues?

I guess like he said,
to send a message.

What's up?

Late '90s pickup.

Let's see if we can get a closer
look at those tire treads.

Hey, buddy, you know
whose truck that is?

Hey!

FBI!

Whoa! FBI! Stop!

- FBI!
- Do not start that car!

Don't even start it!

- Don't move!
- Okay!

I'm not going anywhere.

Yeah, you're damn right
you're not.

Keep your hands
where I can see 'em.

( groans )

( groans )

Trail-Hawks.

Tires are a match.

That's not good for you.

Colby.

Borrego.

Paperwork checks out.

That's right --
I'm in this country legally,

- which means I have rights.
- You do.

And of them is the right
to lethal injection.

What are you talking about?

Oh, my God.

What, you-you think I did this?

Are you kidding me?

No. I got a whole nother
kidding face.

DAVID: We found tire tracks
that match your truck

about 30 yards from where
these girls were butchered.

I work out there.

I drive all over those hills
every day.

Doing what exactly?

My group, Border Care...

we help undocumented workers.

You help them how?

I set up water stations,
and when it's cold

I take them blankets
and clothing.

Last summer,
68 people died of exposure,

trying to find a better life.

What about these statues?

Like the ones we found
in your truck.

I found them.

Near the migrant camp
where you saw me.

They're bad luck totems.

I figured somebody was trying
to scare off the workers.

So why'd you run
when you saw us?

I thought you were someone else.

Someone like who?

Private border patrol.

These anti-immigration
vigilantes.

They've been harassing these
poor workers for months now.

They sure as hell don't like
what I do.

Samuel Kraft was in the CIA.

What? As an operative?

As a psychic -- they had
a program called Stargate,

where they took people
like Kraft

and tried to train them
to use them as weapons

to spy on enemies,
to kill people.

Yeah. It wasn't him.

'Kay, I got
the coroner's report.

Jane Doe number one
dead 48 to 56 hours ago.

- Which puts him still in Seattle.
- Yeah.

I mean, it's a legit alibi.

COLBY: Borrego's story
checks out.

This guy runs
a human rights group.

He's a, uh, advocate
for the illegals.

But he did point the finger at
this private Citizens Border Guard.

Yeah, he says they've been harassing
these workers for the last few weeks.

And the coyotes,
what about them?

It didn't mesh,
the whole occult thing.

I mean, if you're killing
these girls to send a message,

why pretend it's something else?

Yeah, but you could say the same
thing about the Citizens Border Guard.

Except Borregos said the totems
we found, the statues,

they're supposed to be some
kind of bad luck, like they're a curse.

It's a good way to scare off other
immigrants from making the trip.

You know, play on
their superstitions.

They can't close the border,

but they can definitely stop them
from wanting to cross it, right?

CHARLIE:
That's cheating.

Hey,
you're not allowed to do that.

Hey, guys.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Ooh! I don't want to interrupt
your victory.

Well, that would imply we're
actually doing something.

( laughs )

What's going on?

I wanted to see
if you knew anything

about the CIA's
Stargate program.

I thought maybe with
your NSA clearance,

you might have seen
something somewhere.

Sure. Stargate.

Ludicrous waste
of taxpayer money.

No, no, no, don't be so quick
to vilify here.

I've done
a little research myself,

and I think that it had
some merit.

Okay? The CIA
recruited individuals

who demonstrated
psychic ability.

Don't.

They trained them in something
called remote viewing --

and with some success,
I might add.

President Carter recounts
a time when,

I think it was a State
Department plane

went down
in a Central African jungle.

A California psychic

intuited the exact latitude
and longitude of the crash site,

led the search team right to it.

CHARLIE: These yahoos also
removed the vocal cords from goats,

stared at the goats
for hours on end

in an attempt to try to kill
them with their thoughts.

Samuel Kraft was
a part of Stargate.

CHARLIE:
Megan...

this good man here is obviously
too far gone to be saved,

but please tell me that you're
not buying Kraft's story as well.

He said some things to me.

What kind of things?

He just, uh,
knew things about me.

You know what?

He tried that with me,
and all it means

is that he spent an hour or two
Googling you.

You know, these were just...

things that
you can't look up anywhere.

I, um... I haven't talked
to my father in ten years.

Okay, why is that?

Well, you know...

he just had some expectations for
me that I wasn't ever gonna meet.

But...

how does Kraft know that?

Because... I must admit,

he's really good
at what he does.

See, he throws out
a few vague statements,

but remember, it's your
willingness to believe him

that fills in those blanks.

Now, there's an
unscientific assumption.

A supportable theory, at least.

Supported by what, by
your own pronouncements?

Then are you ready, Fleinhardt?

Ready to put your...

black magic to the test?

LARRY: Eppesie,
I was born ready.

Evening.

Good evening.

Saw your headlights --
I was expecting someone else.

Other members
of the Citizens Border Guard.

Agent Sinclair, FBI.

So, what brings the FBI out?

Your group's Web site lists you
as the head of the local chapter.

Yep. It was my time
to do my part,

seeing that the problem is
literally in my own backyard.

What problem would
that be exactly?

Illegal immigration.

We got seven million undocumented
aliens drawing on the system --

how long do you think
the economy can support that?

So let me get this straight --

you and your buddies,
you drive around

in these hills, round 'em up
and send 'em back home?

- Is that right?
- You're the FBI.

You should be just as worried.

What, you don't think the
terrorists can just walk

across the border just
like the rest of them?

Tell you what.

Let us worry
about the terrorists.

Right now we want to talk about
three young girls who were murdered.

Oh, I heard about that.

That's pretty frightening.

Well, that certainly doesn't hurt
your cause any, now, does it?

Might even slow the flow of
illegals across the border for a while.

You think we had something to do
with it? There's no way.

Then you wouldn't mind
if we took a look

at your membership roster,
then, huh?

You better believe I'd mind.

Mr. Winnard...

we're gonna find this killer,

and it's gonna hurt your cause
in a big way

if it turns out to be
one of your guys.

- I know my men.
- Do you?

Well enough to risk everything?

That there's not one
loose cannon in there

whose motives might not
be quite as pure as your own?

Let us do some
quiet checking, okay?

If we're wrong,

no harm done, no one has
to know we were here.

I feel a bit like
a prized show dog

and you're asking me
to go fetch a stick.

Well, before we know
we can trust you,

we're gonna need verification.

You said in your book this
card trick was child's play.

I'm just surprised
you still have doubts.

You can start.
We're ready.

Black.

Black.

Red.

Black.

Black.

Red.

Red.

That's enough. You can stop.

How'd I do?

He failed.

You see that? How bad?

25 cards --
He got them all wrong.

All of them?

Well, the odds
of getting them all wrong

are the same as getting them
all right.

- Must be...
- One in 33.5 million.

That man is playing with us.

KRAFT:
Black.

Black.

There.

There's a reflection here.
I think.

I'm gonna call Amita and get
her to run a digital enhancement.

Charles, you know,
while I cannot discount out of hand

that there might be fraud
involved here...

He cheated, Larry.
He's a cheater.

But what concerns me here
is your intransigence

to the contemplation
of any other possibility.

No one's ever proven
psychic ability. Ever.

It required the creation and
launch of the Hubble Telescope

in order to see protoplanetary
disks form in the Orion Nebula.

Now, does that mean that
they simply weren't there

for the thousands of years when we
lacked the instruments to see them?

So ESP exists
because we can't find it?

We observe the universe through
the limited prism of our senses.

Now, I acknowledge
the possibility --

the likelihood -- that
there are realities

that lie beyond the
realm of our senses.

That sounds like blind faith,
not science.

Well, to misquote
Shakespeare here,

"There are more things
in Heaven and Earth

than are dreamt of in
all your mathematics."

Shakespeare also had people
sprouting donkey ears,

and wood fairies
running through his forests.

I'm not here to debate belief
systems, just methodology.

To hold to one assumption,

and exclude any and all
contradictory data --

that isn't science.

That's politics.

Just finished running
background checks

on our buddies over at the
Citizens Border Guard.

And nobody pops?

Pretty much all family guys,

local business owners.

I was really hoping to
find that lone nutjob,

but there's just
nothing on this roster.

So we don't have
an obvious suspect.

We don't have any suspect.

We can't I.D. the victims.

We have no more information now
than when we started.

Okay, well,
what about the psychic?

He has an alibi.

I didn't mean as a suspect.

I'm talking about going
to him for help maybe.

Thank you.

What do you got there?

Coroner's report
on the other two victims.

It's practically a carbon copy
of Jane Doe number one.

Female Latinas,
late teens, early 20s,

unskilled lacerations.

Wait a minute.

What?

The times of death
are different.

What do you mean?

How far apart are you talking?

Jane Doe number two was killed a
full day before Jane Doe number one.

And number three was killed
as much as two days before that.

So the murders
weren't a one-time event.

Which means there could be
a lot more bodies out there.

And more bodies to come.

I agree with you.

There are more women in danger.

So you've had more
of your visions?

Well, let me show you.

All right. Well,
what do they all mean?

I don't know yet.

The visions are still hazy.

But I definitely
see another woman.

Maybe more than one.

In the visions, are they alive?

They're in motion.

Traveling.

And...

There's something
else. They're...

I want to say
they're... they're...

pregnant.

Pregnant.

I had the same sense
with the first three victims.

Well, the autopsies say
you're wrong about that.

These are impressions.

They're like dreams.
They have to be interpreted.

Why don't you gather
up your things

and come down to the office
with us?

What about my request?

You really think this is
the time to be negotiating?

I can't imagine a better one.

Why is he back?

Because we're worried there
could be more murders coming.

Based on his predictions?

Predictions that dovetail
with evidence.

I can't believe you're treating
him as a credible source.

You said what happened with
those cards was impossible.

That's exactly what I'm here
to talk to you about.

I can't, Charlie. I can't ignore
any more help.

Don made the decision
to go with Kraft.

I'm just doing what he says.

Thank you.

You're not here to
sharpen pencils, are you?

No. The card game.

You got them all wrong

when you could have
got them all right. Why?

The test was your idea,
wasn't it?

I figured you'd be the one
to interpret the results.

Trying to impress me again?

I thought you were feeling left out,
not being part of the case.

I know how you cheated.

- I didn't cheat.
- You did.

Your glasses.

You kept fidgeting with them.

Must be a nervous habit.

Actually, that's what
I thought at first, as well.

And then...

I enhanced the video.

Turns out

your nervous habit

is actually a tricky little way

of gathering
a reflection of the cards

off the glass right here.

It's amazing

what wonders
real science can achieve.

Let me ask you a question...

Professor Eppes.

If you have it in your power
to save lives,

does anything else
really matter?

These are the latest from Kraft.

He still thinks there's one or
more potential victims traveling.

But do we have any idea

what the "15"
or the "S" and the "B" mean?

Traveling. It's got
to be bus or car, right?

And 15 is a major route
coming up from Southern Mexico.

You might be right
on the whole bus thing.

There are two major
bus carriers in Mexico

with the letters "S"
and "B" in their names --

Baja del Sur and Sierra Bonita.

They're both wide carriers with
routes to at least ten border towns.

COLBY: The problem is, even if
we know precisely which bus,

we still don't know
who we're looking for.

We need more information
on the original victims --

the Jane Does.
They're the key.

I mean, they'll tell us,

if we can figure
out who they are,

who the killer is, why he's
looking for them...

Maybe we can get the psychic
to refocus on the victims.

CHARLIE: How about you try
using math instead of magic?

All right, Charlie.
What do you got?

What if I could help
locate the other immigrants

that crossed the
border with the victims?

Can you?

Very possible, using
the Fokker-Planck equation.

Now, it allows us
to determine the movements

of something under the influence
of external forces --

like a herd of animals.

A whole host of forces
act on the herd

to determine its movement.

Some forces attract the herd --

forces like a watering hole,
a food source,

a safe resting place.

Other forces deter the herd --
predators, obviously.

Hostile terrain.

Now, these forces
can be analyzed

to determine the distance
and direction

that the herd will travel.

Can you apply this
to the migrant workers?

This equation can apply
to any nomadic population.

But, instead of considering
forces like a watering hole,

we're considering farm jobs,

safe encampments,

transportation routes.

Okay. And,
instead of predators,

it would be the Border Patrol
and the Citizens Border Guard.

Right. Now, we know
Jane Doe number one

crossed the border
from Tecate three days ago.

That gives us a starting point.

Now, if others crossed over
with her,

the Fokker-Planck equation
is a model that can

predict where
the others are now.

All right. Good, Charlie.

So why don't you get on that?

And, meanwhile,
we keep working with Kraft.

We'll run the bus angle

and anything else
the guy comes up with. Right?

Hey, Charlie, in all your
rearranging in here,

did you ever come across a box
labeled "Population Density Studies"?

I need it for my mall project.

Char...

Charlie.

Sorry. I'm just not sure
how well these equations

will translate
into human populations.

Aw. You know what?

They've better
than random sketches, right?

Right?

Oh, not you now.

Was I asleep?

Did I miss the memo?

When did the whole world throw
rational thought out the window?

Charlie, it's notabout what I
believe or don't believe.

I just think it's very
comforting for people to know

that everything that we know
isn't all that there is.

I'm not saying
we know everything, Dad.

Science is all about attacking
the mysteries of the universe --

unmasking the unknown in a
rational, methodical manner.

I know. But the world
is not always

a rational, methodical place.

You're good at a lot
of things, Charlie,

but accepting that fact
is not one of them.

Hey, perfect timing.

Let's all sit down
at a Ouija board

and try to solve "P" v. "NP"
once and for all.

Don't start with me, you know?

I mean, the FBI has used
psychics, and they've helped.

So, even if the guy's
throwing darts,

I'd be happy with a dumb-luck
bull's-eye right about now.

Believe me, Don,
it's a waste of your time.

Yeah, well,
I've heard that before.

More than once.

I mean, when all we had
was one of your theories,

believe me, I heard that.

Please, show me enough respect

not to put my work
on the same level as your swami.

All right, boys, that's it.

Let's take a step back
for a minute.

I'm going to go one better,
and step all the way off.

You can let your psychic solve
it for you.

- Listen.
- Charlie, where you going?

Charlie!

Water. I get a very strong
sense of water.

Water will be important somehow.

Okay, what water?

You mean, like,
a river? An ocean?

I don't...
I don't know yet.

I can just tell you
I sense water.

But there's just...
there's not enough detail.

We can't pinpoint an accurate
location with... without more detail.

I'm sorry. I'm telling
you everything I can.

It's just not there yet.

I... Maybe... maybe after.

What do you mean, after?

With the others, the visions
became much clearer after...

the girls were dead.

I think I have something.

Unless you're already solved it.

Don told us
you were off the case.

If I have it in my power
to save lives,

then... then everything else
doesn't matter.

These areas here...

Different herds
behave in different manners.

Since we don't know how many
people crossed the border

with Jane Doe number one,

I ran the algorithm with
three different group sizes --

five to ten, ten to 20,

20 to 30.

And these are the results.

There is a 68% chance
that someone

who crossed the border
with Jane Doe number one

can be found
in one of these three areas.

( speaking Spanish )

Gracias.

Hola. Buenos dias.

Senorita, como esta?

Conoce a estas mujeres?

Les a visto antes?

Hola. Ha visto
estas mujeres?

Have you seen her?
Or her?

Gracias.

Any luck?

No.

They all seem to be scared.

The question is,
are they afraid of us

or whoever did this
to these girls?

All right, keep asking.

Perdoname, senor.

Buenas dias.
Como esta?

Conoce a estas mujeres?

La ha visto antes?

No.

W-Wait a minute.
You recognize her.

Senor, senor, un momento.

La ha visto antes?

Necesito su ayuda.

Por favor, quien es ella?

Mire, yo no quiero
ningun problema.

No, no, no.

- Pero si, la he visto.
- Si?

Estaba en la
frontera con Tecate.

Okay.

Esperabanos juntos,
que se hiciera noche.

Su nombre es Alba.

He recognized
Jane Doe number one.

He said they were
in Tecate together.

Waited for it to get dark
before they crossed the border.

Does he know her name?

Just her first name -- Alba.

He said that she said she was

from a small town
in El Salvador called Metapan.

If we can get her photo and her
prints to the police down there...

It's a small city,
someone might recognize her.

Yeah.

He also said she said something
else that was really strange,

and that is that she wasn't
looking for work over here.

She was just coming to the
States for a few days

and then going right back.

We contacted the police
in Metapan, El Salvador.

Sent them photos and prints
of all three victims.

Oh, yeah -- they ID'd
all three, huh?

Families reported them missing.

Suspected runaways.
Here's where it gets weird:

Aside from the same town
of origin,

there's nothing to indicate that
these girls knew each other at all.

What, you mean,
they're not friends?

- They're not traveling together?
- No.

Somehow they end up in the
hands of the same killer in California.

Now, how's a killer pick his
victims 2,500 miles away?

Guys, the police in Metapan

report two more girls missing,
and they're runaways again.

COLBY: This one here,
Lupe Sandoval?

She talked with her brother
before she left,

said she was only going to be
in the States for, like, a week.

So, same story
as the other three.

I mean, the question is,
what is the connection?

They're young,
they're easy prey...

They all plan to be here
for just a short time.

So, what's that?

Remember the guy
from the Citizen's Border Guard?

He talked about women
crossing the border

to have their babies,
then going right back home.

I know, but all the autopsies
on these girls

said that they weren't pregnant.

Yeah, but Kraft said he got
the feeling

that they were
pregnant, remember?

Wait a minute.

What if they were carrying
something else inside their bodies?

Drugs.

Dope mules swallow large
quantities of drugs in latex balloons

and then just waltz
across the border.

And it's the perfect explanation

for the short stay --
they come over here,

they make their delivery,
and they go right back home.

There you go, only just didn't
work out that way.

Something went wrong,
the drugs wouldn't pass...

Right, someone got greedy.
They didn't want to pay.

Which means that statues
and the candles

and the whole occult thing
was a bluff.

Those girls were cut
open to get to the drugs.

You know, it's hard for me
to believe

that these three young
girls would do this.

I mean, swallow all those drugs.

Never mind going to prison.

What would happen if one
of the balloons bursts?

They die.

So why do they do it?

Come on, Dad. I mean,
they come from a place

where they're lucky if they make
40 or 50 bucks a week.

Right, and then somebody probably
offers them a chance to make $5,000.

What about those
other two girls --

the ones you suspect
of being on their way?

I mean, how are you going
to stop them?

We got their pictures out
to everyone we can.

The border patrol,
the Mexican police.

We're hoping someone
will spot 'em.

And, you know, that's all
we can do.

Actually, you know...

pass me that salt.

Thank you.

Okay. I'm going to set up a
simple logic diagram here.

Okay?

Three vertices, okay?

We'll start with the salt

which we'll call the girls'
home town in El Salvador...

- It's Metapan.
- Metapan.

And the pepper is Tecate.

And the third vertex,

the glass of water,
is the U.S.

Now, let's look
at the logic issues.

If these girls did swallow
these drug balloons,

they probably didn't do it all
the way back here in El Salvador

because the drugs would then
pass through their body too quickly.

Oh, yeah, that's right,
that's right.

The drugs would pass through
their system

before they even got
to the United States.

Yeah, they'd definitely have
to ingest them

pretty close
to the border, right?

Probably Tecate,
which would give them

the time to get the drugs
over the border

into the U.S.

Now, the three vertices

are all part of the same system.

You find out
how they're connected,

you're going to find another way
to your killer.

The D.E.A. agents
working out of Mexico City

turned up a link between
a drug family in Metapan

and a little pharmacy in Tecate.

There's our connection.

Take a look at this.

The name on the license when
they pulled it from the pharmacy.

"Alejandro Borrego."

As in Victor Borrego,
our immigrant advocate.

Colby, we had this S.O.B.
and we let him go.

And this gives him perfect cover

to be out there patrolling
the border just waiting

for his drug mules to cross.

Hey, the alert we put out
on the girls just paid off.

The police in Tecate
found Rose Garcia

as she was about
to cross the border.

They X-rayed her stomach --
loaded with drugs.

What about the other one,
Lupe Sandoval?

Rose said she already crossed.

Which means she's already
in the U.S.

She's headed straight
for Victor Borrego.

Hey, guys?

How we doing on Borrego?

We have agents on his house,
but he's nowhere to be found.

We're trying his cell phone,
hoping to get a GPS fix on him.

If he's out looking
to meet with Lupe Sandoval,

he's probably out of cell range.

You got anything else?

I mean... anything?

I-I've been over this
with your agents.

I'm still feeling
the importance of water.

Maybe water's nearby, or...

The Colorado River,
the Pacific Ocean...

- a bathtub?
- All right, Charlie.

We have hard data

on approximately when
Lupe left Tecate

and we know it takes
maybe six to eight hours

for drugs to pass...

And we know Borrego's
preferences from the last crime scene.

He's going to want seclusion
and no lights, no people.

Right.

He's unlikely to go
back to that first location

because he knows we've already
been there.

Right, so that eliminates
this area here,

here and here.

He's also going to want
to avoid the border patrol

and the Citizens Border Guard.

I remember those patrol routes
from the earlier model.

Still...

Huge area.

Yeah, but that's not too huge
for an air search? Right?

Call SOG.

Tell them whatever they got available,
we'd like up in the air, ASAP.

Okay?

Hey.

Thanks for coming back.

Yeah. Sorry about that.

- It's just...
- I know. Don't worry about it.

Air unit just spotted
Borrego's truck on

the fire road about six miles
off the MacDaniels turnoff.

Is the girl with him?

The IR sensor on the chopper
shows only one occupant in the vehicle.

She might already be dead.

All right, tell them to maintain
visual contact, but don't close in.

I'd rather you guys do that.

( tires squealing )

( siren blares )

( grunting )

Don't you even breathe!

You're making a mistake!

We made the mistake the first
time we let you go, Victor.

Okay, my arm...

( crackling, groans )

I got something --
a girl's sweater

and it looks like a bus ticket.

- ( screams )
- Where is she?

I don't know who
you're talking about.

I found that on my patrol...

Cut the crap, Victor!

- We're not buying it.
- My arm!

I'm giving you one more chance.

Where is she?!

Look at all this water.

It's okay. It's okay!

No one's going to hurt you.

We're FBI.

( speaking Spanish )

Policia. Policia...

( speaking Spanish )

That was the hospital.

They got all the drugs out of the
girl and she's going to be all right.

Well, I'd say, then,

that we all should be
congratulated.

That is quite a gift.
you have, professor.

Thank you.

Let's leave it at that.

I, uh, I'm going to hold you
to our deal.

Official mention
in the case file.

Right, you got it.

I just need you to sign
a statement, okay?

Come on.

Agent Reeves...

- You know what the worst part is?
- What?

Is now this guy's walking around
with an FBI credit in his pocket?

Which, by the way,
he'll only further exploit to fool people.

You can't rule out everything
the guy did.

Of course I can.

Hey, look, he knew
there'd be more victims.

Hey, you know what?
Three dead girls

and the FBI pounding
on his door in a panic.

How hard is that to deduce?

Hey, you guys, you still at it?

It's obvious you're not
going to agree on this.

- What about the sketches?
- Because he's...

What about the sketches?

He led us to the bodies.
You tell me how he did that.

I don't know, okay?

But there could be any
number of reasons.

He worked for the CIA.

And the CIA was involved
in the search for Pablo Escobar,

so he may have an intimate
knowledge of the drug trade.

- Charlie, that is so thin.
- I don't think...

I agree with
Don. It's pretty thin.

Oh, and attributing superhuman
powers to a psychic --

yeah, that's thick.

No, listen, I'm not saying
everything he did was real,

- but you can't rule...
- What was that?

That's Mom's picture.

Oh, don't start to say
that that meant something, okay?

That's spooky.

You know, your mother never
liked it when you guys argued.

Oh, there's many reasons
that that just fell.

Look, it's fallen before.

You were supposed to put an
earthquake anchor on that wall, Dad.

What, that's a coincidence?

Coincidence and nothing more.

Yeah. I don't know.

That's weird.

Coincidence.

( dialing )

Mom, it's Megan.

No, I'm fine, I, uh...

Sorry. I just finished a case.

I didn't...

realize... is Dad there?

No, of course he's at the club.

Where else would he be
at this hour?

No, no, it's not that important.

I'll call back.

I will.

I will. You get some sleep.

You, too.
